Cisco UCS traffic monitoring

[Asfandyar70754]

Hello everyone.

I am running 50 Servers and 6 Chassis in my environment. I need a mechanism for Network traffic monitoring that includes UCS vNIC traffic monitoring, traffic monitoring between vlans within a chassis  and visibility that on which blade in the chassis is contributing to the traffic on the port.

Any help is appreciated

Traffic Monitoring Across Ethernet

An Ethernet traffic monitoring session can monitor any of the following traffic source and destination ports:

Source Ports	Destination Ports
Uplink Ethernet port Ethernet port channel VLAN Service profile vNIC Service profile vHBA FCoE port Port channels Unified uplink port VSAN	Unconfigured Ethernet Port

Note

All traffic sources must be located within the same switch as the destination port. A port configured as a destination port cannot also be configured as a source port. A member port of a port channel cannot be configured individually as a source. If the port channel is configured as a source, all member ports are source ports.

Thanks,

Kirk...
